¹ This note was written on the text of a telegram from M. M. Litvinov, a member of the board of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, to G. V. Chicherin. Litvinov reported: "...from Italy, one hundred thousand military boots are offered at forty lire each. From the same source, flannel shirts are offered at nineteen lire each, work suits at sixteen lire, trousers at fourteen, and greatcoats at sixty-five lire. Furthermore, several hundred aeroplanes, up to four hundred trucks, and five used but in good condition vehicles can be obtained there at relatively low prices..." The underlinings were made by V. I. Lenin.
² A. M. Lezhava — a member of the RSDLP since 1904. From 1921 to 1925, he was Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Trade.
